The water distribution projects at Ranni taluk has taken a back seat as the new motors for the various pump houses in Ranni is to arrive late as per various sources. As the next Sabarimala pilgrimage season is around the corner, there will be a real mess if the water authority fails to install new motors in the pump houses on way to Sabarimala.
With the financial aid from NABARD, 16 pump houses in the Taluk were to get new motors and around 1.30 Crore Rupees were granted for the same. But the delays in getting the motors are really making matters worse. The Electricity and production crisis that is being experienced throughout the country is playing a major factor in delaying the arrival of new motors. Another major issue behind the delay is that motors of different capacities has to be manufactured which is really something difficult.
It has been more than an year since the deal was made for the new motors and since then even a single pump house has not got the new motors installed which is a real shame. A 15 HP motor will be reaching for the Ranni - Angadi project withing 2 weeks and this is purchased with the help of a Sabarimala fund proposed by the Government of Kerala. Vechoochira, Perunad, Madathumpadi, Karikulam, Poozhikkunnu, Cherukol, Naranganam, Angadi, Chittar, Vadasserikkara etc are the places which are yet to get the new motors in the pumb houses.
Of the above mentioned places Madathumpadi, Perunadu, Angadi and Vadaserikkara have pumps which are on the Sabarimala route and due to non functioning of the existing motors, these pumps often becomes out of order. If this situation continues during the Sabarimala season, the Ayyappa devotees will have to face a tough time.
